Spinoza is praised as a father of atheism, a precursor of the
Enlightenment, an 'anti-theologian' and a father of political
liberalism.A When the religious dimension of Spinoza's thought
cannot be ignored, it is usually dismissed as some form of
mysticism or pantheism. This book explores the positive references
to Christianity presented throughout Spinoza's works, focusing
particularly on the Tractatus Theologico-politicus.A Arguing that
advocates of the anti-Christian or un-Christian Spinoza fail to
look beyond Spinoza's ethics, which has the least to say about
Christianity, Graeme Hunter offers a fresh interpretation of
Spinoza's most important works and his philosophical and religious
thought.A A While there isA no evidence that SpinozaA became a
Christian in any formal sense,A Hunter argues thatA his aim was
neither to be heretical nor atheistic, but rather to effect a
radical reform of Christianity and a return to simple Biblical
practices.A This book presents a unique contribution to current
debate for students and specialist scholars in philosophy of
religion, the history of philosophy and early modern history.
